I have the recording you mention as well as a CD called something like "The Instrument of the Devil" or maybe its "The Devil's Instrument". It has a collection of stuff like "The Devil's Trill", the "Sorcerer's Apprenctice" and other devilish music. It is all well played but is not quite as devilish as it should be. But we in the Chicago are fond of Rachel because she is a local talent we have watched blossom, and because she was involved in a highly publicized tragic incident a few years ago. Rachel was traveling on the commuter train with her violin. When she got off the train, the strap of her violin case got caught in the door. When the train took off, she was dragged along. She lost part of a leg. Her long recovery and subsequent suit of the Metra Transit Authority were major local stories in the news for a long time.
